OF the many excursionists who have visited
Augusta in times past none seemed to enjoy
themselves more perfectly than the forty lit
tie people OF the Soldiers Orphans Home,
Bath, who were in the city Saturday. They
filed special car attached to Jewett's train,
arriving at 8 40 A. M. Trustee John G.
Richardson, who is a great tavorite with
the children, accompanied them; also
several ladies connected with the institution.
The entire party at once proceeded to the
State House where the boys and girls spent
several hours delightfully."-. The doors from
cellar to garnet were thrown open and the
children romped about to their hearts content.
They also played In childish glee beneath the
shade of the tall naples en- the terraced
grounds of the capitol The Governors
room was one of their favorite haunts, and the
kind hearted Governor took one of the little
girls in his carriage and drove her to
nalloweit to see her mother.
At2 o'clock the party returned to their car At
the station and there ate lunch, departing
for horne on Jeweti's. The ages of the
children range from six to fourteen years.
They were all neatly and attractavely attired,
bright and intelligent and are evidently
III good hands, receiving kind and paternal
treatment. There are now fifty inmates OF
the asylum. Seven of the excursionists were
sent to the institution from Augusta, and
'his city, Mr.. Richardson says, is, on the
average, more largely represented among the
inmates than any other in the State. Ex-
'cafsions to Thomaston and the Islands are
TO be taken this summer.
